Witnesses and medics in the town of Rafah said the missile struck the entrance to the UN-run school where Palestinians who had fled their homes were sheltering. UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon called for those responsible for the "gross violation of international humanitarian law" to be held accountable, while the US described the attack as "disgraceful". The Israeli military said it had targeted terrorists on board a motorcycle in the vicinity of the school and added it was "reviewing the consequences of this strike".

Outrage at recent events in Gaza and Ukraine may be justified, but although the risks of failure are high, we must not abandon diplomatic efforts to find lasting solutions in the world's trouble spots. If Israel gives up on diplomacy, the cycle of attack and counter-attack will continue indefinitely. If the West tries to contain rather than engage Russia, it will create an adversary where it desperately needs a partner.
